Chapter 2335: Chapter 2336: Another Direction

There are quite a few items marked by Agunas, and after careful inspection, Feng Yuan and the others found traces left on several objects suspected to be related to Kashantuosi. They didn’t take these things with them directly.

Fortunately, Feng Yuan and the others had the means to make replicas, which, although different from the originals, were sufficient for their purposes.

Once the World of Mirrors was lifted, the people of the Snow God District didn’t notice anything unusual, except for those who knew the truth. The rest were unaware that the Divine Beasts had just conducted a thorough investigation of the Snow God District.

In a vacant area outside the city of Lordeman, Feng Yuan and the others went there to share clues.

However, before Feng Yuan and the others could bring out the replicas, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

With snow-white cotton clothes embedded with azure ribbons, and a high-top round white hat with a beautiful sea-blue gemstone on it, a small doll about the same size as Veronia’s main body curiously floated down from the sky to look at Agunas and the others, asking,

"What are you investigating?"

"Milos Lulu, why are you here?"

Feng Yuan looked at the other with some surprise. Despite Milos Lulu’s innocent appearance, no one actually believed she was truly so.

After all, Milos Lulu had been the one sheltering them since Coletos was established, a monster of old age; who would buy the facade of innocence?

"Enough, you’re not fooling anyone here."

Veronia cast a glance at Milos Lulu and said irritably, this person was performing for a blind audience, no one here would fall for it.

Xiao Ji didn’t quite understand why Veronia would treat Milos Lulu with such an attitude, but since Feng Yuan remained wary of her, she certainly wouldn’t let her guard down easily.

Watching Milos Lulu cautiously, Xiao Ji spread her wings and let out a warning call, and Milos Lulu, with a sigh, dropped her innocent demeanor and said,

"Well, it seems we’re all people with insight here."

"Is it so strange that I came to understand why you suddenly applied to conduct a large-scale investigation in our city of Coletos?"

"Especially with so many things happening lately, I wouldn’t want to be in the dark when a large conflict breaks out between you and Coletos."

Feng Yuan considered this and said,

"It’s not really something that can’t be discussed, or I should say, I was worried before that you might alert them, but as long as they can’t erase these traces, then it’s fine."

"Traces?"

Milos Lulu looked at Feng Yuan with confusion, even though Agunas hadn’t introduced Feng Yuan’s identity, she could guess who he was. Yet, she didn’t understand why Feng Yuan said that.

Having explained the course of events, Feng Yuan didn’t care what Milos Lulu thought, and directly took out the items, saying,

"These are traces I found related to Kashantuosi, mostly notes and diaries, and some crafts that have traces suspected to be from Kashantuosi, though I’m not very sure about this aspect."

After all, Feng Yuan wasn’t very familiar with Kashantuosi, making it difficult to discern if certain artistic styles were connected to them.

"Almost nothing has changed, at least in terms of these things, those guys are quite different from Mythological Remnants."

Veronia glanced at the items Feng Yuan brought and said, as things gathered together, Feng Yuan and the others could confirm one thing—the Kashantuosi did have a certain degree of connection with Coletos during the time of the super snowstorm.

"I didn’t expect such an event had occurred in the past. I remember Salonto did come by invitation from Philox, but I didn’t pay much attention then. Who would’ve thought that the snowstorm was connected to Kashantuosi."

Milos Lulu said solemnly, not concerned with what Kashantuosi might be, but if Coletos got entangled in events caused by them, things could turn problematic.

It’s known that based on Feng Yuan’s earlier introduction, Kashantuosi’s actions might possibly provoke an attack from the Divine Beasts. Coletos could be pulled into this mess.

Relying solely on herself, she couldn’t possibly fend off attacks from so many Divine Beasts.

"I assume you don’t know what really happened back then."

Feng Yuan glanced at Milos Lulu, she didn’t appear to be deceiving their group, because there was no need for that, Feng Yuan and they would certainly not gave up the investigation because of her words.

"Considering I can’t possibly manage whatever they did, as long as they don’t cause trouble that threatens Coletos’ safety, what they do is up to them."

"Hmm... I’ll go back and look. I think Philox left me some things that vaguely mentioned this matter."

Previously, due to not knowing about Kashantuosi, she only assumed that the other party had conducted a dangerous transaction and did not pay attention to any possible hidden truths.

Now Milos Lulu dare not think so, at the very least, what she needs to focus on is removing Coletos from suspicion of colluding with Kashantuosi.

Watching Milos Lulu leave, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Do you think it’s trustworthy?"

"No reason to distrust, even if it’s her—the one most Divine Beasts considered a betrayer of the Divine Beasts’ name—did she really make a mistake?"

Feng Yuan smiled unconcernedly, not bothered by it. He wasn’t worried about Milos Lulu intentionally misleading them either, because what she offered can only serve as a reference, as Feng Yuan and the others wouldn’t simplistically make a conclusion.

Unless they use this to track down Kashantuosi Remnants, then perhaps the truth could be clarified.

"If Coletos isn’t deeply entangled with Kashantuosi, then it has no reason to help them mislead us. If it’s deeply entangled, then it’s hard to say."

Agunas flicked its tail and said, uncertain about the situation itself too, since possibilities abound, hence he wouldn’t readily trust Milos Lulu’s words or provided information.

"Well, it can’t erase all traces, and judging by these things, it seems they already had some connection with Coletos before the super snowstorm."

Feng Yuan rubbed his chin, saying with some doubt, he thought the link between Kashantuosi and Coletos started after the snowstorm, but now it seemed otherwise.

"It seems indeed so, if we investigate further..."

Flicking its tail, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"The information recorded here indicates Kashantuosi Remnants contacted them under the guise of People from Beyond, and others weren’t curious about this. I’m wondering if we could find something using this."

"What do you intend to do?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas quizzically. After a moment of silence, it said,

"Based on the records, the time they appeared can be determined within a certain range. If we go back in time, can we catch their tail?"

"This idea... is not impossible, but considering they’re Mythical Era people, their methods against time might exist. Have you considered that this might trigger retaliation and further chaos in the Time River?"

Feng Yuan didn’t dismiss the possibility, it seemed like gambling—gambling on the chance those people wouldn’t use countermeasures.

It’s known that unlike modern times, Mythical Era humans, especially the Divine Beings, had the ability to manipulate time and space.

This was why Feng Yuan hadn’t suggested investigating at the possible time points earlier, because such actions could lead to bigger crises.

"Well..."

Agunas flicked its tail, not daring to be certain; although it knew Kashantuosi probably didn’t possess such abilities, it wasn’t sure.

Given they even mastered Hamilon’s Divine Runes now, who’s to say they wouldn’t have the means to target the Time River?

"Without trying, how would we know? But I do feel like letting Milos Lulu join us, since she’s quite familiar with Coletos, if she’s not directly opposed to us."

"If you all find it feasible, I’m indifferent. In fact, even if your plan fails, there are remedies."

Feng Yuan casually spread his hands, indifferently, if the Time River were severely damaged, he wouldn’t be worried. After all, Yin World’s nature could reconstruct the Time River, though it might cause some historical changes, it’s ultimately the last resort remedy, isn’t it?

After a long silence, Agunas finally made up its mind and said,

"If so, let’s return to that era and investigate what’s really going on!"
